U2 to play live to the world via Youtube

Share

U2’s show at the LA Rose Bowl Stadium will be streamed live on 25th October at 8.30pm (PST) on Youtube. The Irish rockers are hyping the concert as “the world’s biggest band performing on the world’s largest stage” thanks to the huge number of fans expected to watch via the web.

Fans will also be able to “join YouTube’s global listening party via a Twitter gadget embedded on U2’s YouTube channel”.

Never shy of flashing a cool bit of tech, U2’s latest 360º tour courted controversy after claims that their outlandish “claw” stage set-up was harmful to the environment.
